A mystical Eastern-sounding psychedelic folk album which was produced and engineered by Vic Keary at Chalk Farm Studios in the Winter of 1971/2. All the tracks are self-penned, half of them by the vocalist Alisha alone.The band had formed at the beginning of the seventies. Alisha Sufit had a haunting voice ideally suited to the blend of Indian and Western music available on this album. Clem Alford was a classically-trained sitar player who'd travelled to India to learn more about Indian classical music. In 1971 they discovered Mushroom Records, which specialised in Indian-related recordings and has gone on to become a very collectable label. Sadly the band split up before the resulting album was released so it was never properly promoted. Mushroom were getting into financial difficulties in any case and could only afford to finance a limited pressing of 1,000 copies, which sold slowly over the next half dozen years.What of the album? Well, the tracks are basically of two types. There are the pleasant, Eastern-sounding instrumentals typified by the title track, Alan's Christmas Card and Take Away Kesh and the tracks that showcase Alisha Sufit's delicate vocals like The Phoenix, Black Cat, Peace Song and High Street.After the band's demise, Clem Alford went on to record a couple of solo albums and also issued an album as Sargam (misspelt as Sagram on the record). Alisha Sufit developed her interest in art but did eventually return to the recording studio in 1992 with some respected backing musicians to record Alisha Through The Looking Glass (Sufit 010 CD/MC), which was issued on CD and cassette.Alisha Sufit and Clem Alford recorded a stylistically similar second album Once Moor as by Magic Carpet II in 1996.Compilation appearances include: Father Time on Electric Psychedelic Sitar Headswirlers Vol. 5 (CD).
